Combining an understanding of Medical Physics and Medical Software to translate physics, clinical requirements and algorithms into reliable and compliant medical device software.

Developing the image guided patient positioning system for the Sensius FocusCollar thermotherapy treatment system. Feasibility studies and prototyping for detecting facial landmarks using stereo camera setups.

Working under the UCL Computer Assisted Navigation, Diagnosis and Intervention group.

I studied MSci Medical Physics in the UCL department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. In the last two years of the four year program, I focused on medical computing and image analysis, including computer assisted surgery and therapy methods. My dissertation successfully applied machine learning methods to medical image registration of head and neck CT scans on a large dataset.
